UFCThe Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is a U.S.-based mixed martial arts organization, recognized as the largest MMA promotion in the world. The UFC is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada and is owned and operated by Zuffa, LLC. This promotion is responsible for solidifying the sport's postion in the history-books.
UFC is currently undergoing a remarkable surge in popularity, along with greater mainstream media coverage. UFC programming can now be seen on FOX, FX, and FUEL TV in the United States, as well as in 35 other countries worldwide.

But yeah, compare Rashad's and Machida's fights in UFC, and it really isn't even close who gets the shot. Machida needs atleast 1 solid win to prove he earns the shot, which is something Rashad did by KOing Chuck.

I would give Machida winner of Rampage vs. Wanderlei fight and give next title shot to the winner of that fight.

About the card; pure awesomeness, ending 2008 with style indeed. Really makes me wonder what kind of card we'll see at ufc 100 now :P
